Prevent Child Abuse America: How To Talk To Toddlers About Child Abuse - Julie Federico

Child Abuse Prevention Made Easy 

Parents have many responsibilities when educating their children about life. One of the most important conversations to have with your child is a conversation about body safety. What is body safety you ask? Body safety is teaching your children that their body is their own and if anyone touches them in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable you want to know as soon as possible. This one piece of information can save your child from childhood sexual abuse and is crucial to child sexual abuse prevention. I think parents overthink this topic, get scared, and then do not say anything to their children. This is the worst thing a parent can do. The best way to prevent child abuse is to talk about it before it happens not after. The steps to prevent child abuse are easy. Know who is watching your children, educate your child about body safety rules, respond quickly if your child self discloses information that someone has harmed them. Most children are harmed by "loved ones", contrary to what the media feeds families; children are usually harmed by people in their own family. . If you have suspensions about a family member it is okay to say to them, “I have spoken to my children about ways to prevent child abuse. In our family, child abuse is discussed and we have an open dialogue. My children will be reporting to me if someone they know is making them feel uncomfortable.” You don’t have to say this but it goes a long way to aid in child sexual abuse prevention. Or use your own language to get at the issue in a way you feel comfortable. When talking to children they will understand this information at a very young age. Most parents wait until their child starts to go to an overnight sleepover before they share this information. This is way too late. The average age that most children are first harmed is 4 years old. Children need to be educated as soon as they can grasp this information. The longer you wait to talk about child sexual abuse prevention the more at risk your child is. I do not think 18 months is too young to begin this discussion with your children. You want to be the first person to talk to your child about child abuse prevention, not the perpetrator. I say 18 months because my daughter was around 18 months when I got my first proof of my landmark children’s book Some Parts Are NOT for Sharing a child’s first book on body safety. I read it to my daughter later we were carving pumpkins she asked me, “Mom do pumpkins have private parts?” I thought I am really onto something here she gets this! Your child can get it too. Parents struggle with how to prevent child abuse; it is really very simple. Read my book to your children, have conversations about people who are in a caregiving role in their life, talk about your family relationships, and that it is okay to tell if anyone hurts you. Tell children that you will not be angry but that you do want to know as soon as possible. As your child gowns, their questions will change; you will know when it is time to include more information than what was in the book. Some Parts are NOT for Sharing is a child abuse prevention book for children 0-9 years old. It is also available in Spanish.

How To Protect Your Child From Unwanted Touch

Anger is OKAY, Violence is NOT, written by Julie Federico and illustrated by Glori Alexander, is a thoughtful, much-needed addition to pre-school teachers’ and social workers’ libraries. With vibrant, TV-cartoon-like illustrations and simple, direct text appropriate for even the youngest children, this picture book explores the complexity and vitality of anger, and when it is appropriately expressed and when it is not.

True emotional intelligence is something recognized and respected but rarely taught and discussed, even among adults. The goal of this worthy project is to engage children in a safe, non-threatening exploration of complicated, often-frightening feelings. Federico lets kids know that anger is normal, though managing its expression can be complicated.

Clear language and child-friendly art invite a direct, straightforward examination of when anger is appropriate and how to safely express it through art, physical activity, tears. What’s not OK is hitting, biting, throwing and hurting. The book gently and clearly reminds its vulnerable audience that adults can find the journey just as tricky as children do. If an adult hurts a child or someone they love, Federico instructs her young readers that telling a trusted adult is a safe and right action for them to take.

Needless to say, this is complex emotional territory, and Federico’s tone is perfect: even, loving, simple, clear. Educators and caregivers may well find this a helpful tool in eliciting important conversations, and the book includes contact information for The National Domestic Violence Hotline and other respected sources of support.
